You decide that working with a partner could make this job easier, after all it is the biggest job you have ever had. Hopefully, having another person’s input on this will stop you from getting caught.
[[go to your usual partners house]]
[[go to the thieves bar]]
**At The thieves bar**
The bar is bustling with people; there are so many conversations going on at once. You can hear people talking about their next jobs, who looks hot tonight, and so many other ridiculous conversations.
You spot the bartender looking towards you. The two of you lock eyes and almost as soon as it happens, you look away as you notice her signaling to come over to the bar.
Once you get to the bar, she asks you if you want a drink. You respond by politely asking for a raspberry cocktail. She says that she will be right back with your drink.
You decide to take advantage of the situation and turn around on your stool to scout out the crowd for a potential partner. You notice that there is someone sitting alone at a booth; they look like a good option for your job.
You go back to scanning the crowd and spot a bright blue head of hair dancing in the center of the room. You believe that it is Indigo. You remember that they are one of the sneakiest thieves around.
You wonder who you should ask for help.
[[ask indigo to help]]
[[ask the person in the booth to help]] you decide to go to your usual partners house and wait for them to come home.
[[wait for them to come home]] After waiting outside for a while, you get bored and pull out your lock pick. you bend down and begin to pick the lock on the door. Once you have unlocked the door, you slip through the door and take off their shoes and walk into the kitchen.
[[continue]] you offer to pay them
[[they happily agree]] [[continue...]] (text-colour:yellow)[trigger warning: blood, sharp objects]
You walk over to the person sitting in the booth. After agreeing to let you sit with them, the person asks you what you want. You tell them about your project and how you need some help. They tell you that they were also hired by some rebel group to sneak into the palace and steal some documents.
Their face darkens and their eyes narrow, making them look angry. But they can’t possibly be mad? The two of you both have the exact same jobs and if you work together you will have an even higher success rate.
“I can’t help you,” they say to you in a low voice.
“Why not?” you ask, concerned.
“It just won’t work,” they respond.
“I can’t have you ruining my job now, can I? Hmm?” the person asks.
And just as you are about to say something, you notice a gleam of silver below the table. And in the blink of an eye, the person across from you has their arm raised with a shiny silver throwing star in their hand.
You suck in a breath to scream, but before a sound can come out of your mouth, the throwing star has embedded itself in your throat, cutting your vocal cords. The pain is blinding; you are unable to see anything.
You are losing blood quickly due to the wound in your neck and are losing consciousness.
//I guess that's why they tell you to be careful around strangers.// you think to yourself as you blackout.
(text-colour:red)[DEAD]
You decide it’s safer to ask a friend to help you, after all, it’s better to have a person you trust to help you on a mission this big.
[[offer to give them part of the reward]]

You remind them that they owe you for that time you helped them get out of that sticky spot last winter.

[[offer them some of the reward]] [[continue.....]] [[they reluctantly agree]] you decide to work alone, this is a big mission and you wouldn't want anyone else to mess it up.
[[continue....]] you need to consider your approach into the palace. Will you waltz in through the front doors or go through another way?
[[waltz in ]]
[[find another way in]] (text-colour:red)[+2 courage]
you decide to go through the front door of the palace. you decide that you will sneak in by hiding in plain sight. you consider your options for getting in. After a moment of consideration you remember that every day the palace is open to tourists from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. if you could walk in at about 4:30 you could slip away down a side hall and hide until the guards are done sweeping the halls for stranglers.
[[continue 9]] (text-colour:red)[+2 caution]
you decide that there are too many guards at the entrance, if you can sneak into the palace that would be safer. You remember overhearing a friend a few days ago talking about how they used to work in the palace. maybe you can go to their house and borrow their old uniform.
[[continue 1]]You are a skilled thief who has been tasked by a rebel group to go into the palace to steal documents from the king that will prove that he is a corrupt leader.you must decide to either work alone or work with a partner.
[[work with a partner]]
[[work alone]] Now that you have a partner, you must decide how you will get into the palace. you and your partner are disagreeing on how you will get into the palace. After a while of arguing you eventually come to a consensus.
[[waltz in through the front door]]
[[sneak into the palace]] (t(text-colour:red)[+2 caution ]

you and your partner decide to go through the front door of the palace. you guys decide that you will sneak in by hiding in plain sight. you consider your options for getting in.

[[continue 7]]you grab your shoes and toss them on before heading out into the city. you walk down bustling streets and dingy alleyways before arriving at your friend's apartment.
you knock on their door and almost immediately they open the door and grab your arm before yanking you roughly inside the apartment. They turn around and bolt up the door. "good da-" you say but get cut off by them putting their hand over your mouth before you can finish your sentence. they put a finger to their lips and slowly remove their hand from your mouth.
They walk over to the living room and make sure that the windows are bolted shut before turning to you and directing you to sit down. you sit awkwardly on the chair. "good day player. I am sorry for cutting you off before but I can have anyone overhearing what I say." they say to you.
"No worries." you respond politely.
you need to ask them if they are willing to give you their uniform.
[[continue 2]]]you ask your friend about the old uniform, they tell you that they //might// have one. it is from a few years ago though so it is probably out of date.
"It's not the biggest deal if it's out of date. it only has to get me through the servant entrance." you say with a smile.
she gets up quietly and motions for you to follow her. you get up and walk down a narrow hall and into her little bedroom.
"come here." she says opening the closet.
you walk over to the closet and plop down onto the plush carpet.
She rummages through the closet for a couple minutes then triumphantly pulls out a brown cloth bag.
[[continue 4]]you and your partner decide that going through the ventilation system could work, you decide that you can sneak into the palace vents and get as close as possible to the king's throne room.
[[go in the vent]]your friend walks over to you and sits down across from you. she opens the bag and dumps the contents on the floor in between you. pale blue pants, white shirts, and pale blue vests come tumbling out. you sing through the pile to find something that will work.
"This looks about your size." your friend states.
you look up to see her holding the uniform and grinning.
"Why are you so happy?" you question her.
"I was not treated so well when I worked in the palace, no one ever really pays attention to the servants unless they have a good job and I was just a laundress. I spent all day working my ass off for those ungrateful jerks and they still treated me like I was useless. so now I am happy to help take the king down." she explains to you politely.
"Enough about me, let's see if this uniform fits you."
[[go try on the uniform]]
you quickly don a pair of baggy pants and a light shirt, over top of your thin black pants and shirt. you run over to your counter and grab your heart shaped pair of sunglasses. you make sure to put on the brightest coloured hat you own and glance at yourself in the mirror, //" yup, i look like a tourist'// you think to yourself. you grab your backpack and stuff in a camera, batteries and some snacks. all things that would hide the fact that you are not a tourist.
you open your closed doors and rummage through the boxes and random junk to find a pink box labeled "halloween costumes" you pull it out to find all of your tools. you pull out a little combination lock pick, and a pocket knife. you also grab a taser disguised as a pen.
you grab all of your things and open the hidden pocket in your backpack and slide your tools into it. as a last thought on your way out the door, you grab your green hoodie and tie it around your waist.
[[continue 8]]
After changing into the uniform you go back into the bedroom to find your friend waiting for you. you stand in front of them and do a little twirl, showing off the uniform.
"It's a bit tight in some places." you say to them.
they tell you that they probably can do some sewing to fix it. you tell her that it probably will be fine, that she doesn't need to do that.
"it fits well enough."
[[Untitled Passage 2]] ''inside the palace''
Once in the palace you get sorted into groups for touring the halls. whilst touring the halls you pull out your camera and start taking photos of everything, paintings, walls, roofs, all the things that tourists are obsessed with. as your group walks down the halls, you notice that there is a closet label //cleaning supplies// you also notice that up ahead there is a hallway up ahead. you decide too

After pulling off those clothes you adjust your other clothes and snatch up the clothes from the floor and reach over to a pile of buckets and hide the clothes in a blue one with a lid. you probably wont ever need to use these clothes again, you will either end up with the documents or dead.
you open your backpack and pull out your tools, and slide them into your belt. you leave the rest of the stuff in your backpack and hide that among the supplies as well.
[[continue 11]] you check that the people in your group are not looking at you when you walk down the hall. you make sure to keep snapping photos of the walls and to look like a tourist that just got lost checking out cool stuff.

after sitting for a while longer, you have not heard any footsteps for a while and you decide that now is the perfect time to go out into the halls.

crawling for a while, you notice that there is a stop up ahead. you panic, thinking that the tunnel ends and you don't have enough room to turn around in here. you keep crawling and once you get to the end you look left and right, noticing that there are no turns either way, you look up and release a sigh of relief. you menover your body under the tunnel and somehow manage to stand up. you start climbing and whisper for your partner to follow you.

[[continue 13]]After climbing for a few minutes, you get to more flat ground and you keep going through the maze. your arms are starting to get tired, they probably can't hold you for much longer. you need to find the king's quarters soon.
looking up ahead, you don't see anything at first glance and you sigh in defeat but after taking a closer look, you notice that there is a grate that you could fit through. you crawl over to the great and find that it leads into what looks like a bedroom. it's not grand enough to be a king's room but it is also too fancy to be a servant's room. it could be one of the king's children's rooms, going by the decor and the toys all over the floor, it is probably a little girls room and there are three girls in the palace, Princess Alexandra, princess Cadence and princess Gracelyn.
Alexandra, the oldest, is twenty six and next in line for the throne and is a general in the kingdom's army. She is the most loved by the people although there have been rumors of her abdicating the throne so she can stay in the Army.
Princess Cadence, is twenty three and second in line and she is the only one who is married. She just married her wife Duchess Amelia and is currently living her best life.
and lastly princess Gracelynn, she is the youngest princess by a long shot. She is seven years old and she and her twin brother William are little devils, they cause so much chaos in the castle.

you pull the grate off of the and poke your head out of the vent system. glancing around, you don't see anyone and feel it is safe to get out. you shimmy out of the vent and cover the vent up with the grate. glancing around the room, you notice that there are three doors in the room. One of the walls has a set of big brown double doors. Another wall has a set of frosted glass doors, the last wall has two big beautiful stained glass doors to the outside of the castle, presumably to a balcony. What doors should you go through?

Luckily, the servants are allowed to bring backpacks and keep their stuff in a locker. you grab a few mini lock picks and your pocket knife. you also grab your lipstick taser and throw that in the bag as well. After covering up your weapons with the uniform you are ready to go.
[[Untitled Passage 1]] you arrive at the locker room and unload your stuff into an empty one. you pull the uniform over top of your other clothes. you exit the locker room and walk over to the staircase, once you have reached the bottom of the staircase you see a vent placed underneath it.

Once you arrive at the doors, you take a breath and look at your partner.
"ready?" you ask them
"let's do this". they declare.

you push open the doors and reveal the most intricate bathroom you have ever seen. in the center of the room is a large sunken tub. The tiles on the floor are shiney white. you look up at the walls and notice two large windows that are covering the whole room in a golden light. you take a turn around the room and find no other doors anywhere or any ways to get out.
[[go back into the room]]walking towards the stained glass doors, you look around the room and take in the beautiful scenery.

They look like the only doors that would lead you somewhere usefulyou look down the hall and make sure that there is no one around. you climb up on the windowsill. listening closely, you hear loud footsteps. your heart jumps, you put a finger to your lips to tell your partner to be quiet. you gently push our partner to the outside of the window. they are standing on the ledge and you shut the window, effectively trapping them outside.
"sorry." you whisper.
The footsteps are getting closer. your heart starts pounding faster. you probably have five seconds before the person comes around the corner.

"Hey! what are you doing?" the man yells at you.

all your instincts are screaming at you to turn on your heel and run away. instead of that you turn towards the man, bracing for him to hit you. you pull out your pocket knife, this is not the best weapon to be doing this with but you will have to make it work. the man sprints at you and pulls out a gun.
//fuck.//
this is not going to be a fair fight. you pull your knife up. your attacker is advancing. you don't want to give him any more advantage than he already has so you launch yourself at him.
judging by his facial expression, he did not expect you to jump at him. you collide with the man. He probably won't risk shooting you when you are so close.
you maneuver your knife over the man's thigh, and quickly jab the knife into his leg, the man releases you and screams.
//damn it.//
The man's scream probably allerted the other guards. you push yourself up and snatch up his gun. He heaves himself up and screams again. you hear thundering footsteps. the man gets up and limps towards you.
"get back. I will shoot." you say as you raise your gun towards their chest. they keep walking towards you.
I'm not joking!" you shout angrily. you don't want to kill the man but you will if you have to. he is certainly not making this easy. he walks towards you and you pull the trigger.
[[continue ]]you take off running, you were right, this job //has//been too easy. you bolt down the halls and the man sprints after you. outrunning him is one option or you could try to lose him in the maze of halls.
[[try to outrun him]]
[[try to lose him in the halls]]you sprint as fast as you can. racing down halls not making note of where you are going. The castle is huge and there are many hallways. The king's quarters are in the center of the palace so you try to make your way there. The castle is built so that the king's rooms are in the middle. you continue running and spot a staircase, once you reach it you dash up the stairs and shove people out of the way as you go. you reach the top of the stairs and come face to face with a set of huge doors. The only place this could lead to is the king's quarters. you walk over to the doors and push them open. you walk into the room and close the doors behind you. the room you walked into must be a living room going by the couches and tables set up around the room. This room is used by the king and his important guests. as you get further into the rooms, you probably will get closer to the kingdom more private rooms. walking into the next room, you emerge into what looks like a meeting room. It has a long table and a bunch of little chairs and one big throne for the king himself. After going through a few more rooms you reach two sets of doors. one that leads to an office and one that leads to the king's bedroom.
[[go in the office]]
[[go in the bedroom]]you run through the halls, taking turns as you see them. while you run you consider the fact that you probably will need to get to the center of the castle where the kings quarters are located. you come up on a turn
[[turn right]]
[[turn left]]The rest of the people come around the corner. you take a step forward over the mans dead body. your body is covered in his blood and it is making you look very threatning. you can feel the blood from a cut on your head running down into your eye. you raise the gun again and point it at the crowd of people. in your other hand you pull out your tazer. you pull the tigger on your gun continuosly, causing the men to drop and knock others over. soon there are no men left and you walk over to the pile of bodies. there is no way you can possibly get the documents peacefully now
[[continue ]]you have no choice but to run now. you race down halls and take twists and turns, everyone who spots you and chases after you shoot. you have been training using guns since you were very young. you have perfect aim and hit every one of your targets with accuracy and effectivly give them a quick death. these people have no reason to suffer, they are just bystanders who have gotten in your way. you race through the halls and after leaving a trail of dead bodies you eventually run out of bullets. its okay though because you took two guns off the men who attacked you. shooting people brings you no joy but if they did not die than more people would die because of the king.
you continue running and spot a staircase, once you reach it you dash up the stairs and shove people out of the way as you go. you reach the top of the stairs and come face to face with set of huge doors. the only place this could lead to is the kings quarters. you walk over to the doors and push them open. you walk into the room and close the doors behind you. the room you walked into must be a living room going by the couches and tables set up around the room. this room is used by the king and his important guests. as you get further into the rooms, you probably will get closer to the kingd more private rooms. walking into the next room, you emerge into what looks like a meeting room. it has a long table and a bunch of little chairs and one big throne for the king himself. after gong through a few more rooms you reach two sets of doors. one that leads to an office and one that leads to the kings bedroom.
[[go in the office]]
[[go in the bedroom]]you walk down the hallway a litte bit and don't see anyone coming. you make sure to remember where you went so that you can go back to the princesses room. after wandering for a few minutes od wandering and getting nowhere, you come across a open window.
[[go through the window ]]
you look down the hall and make sure that there is no one around. you climb up on the windowsill. listending closely, you hear loud footsteps. your heart jumps.
the footsteps are getting closer. your heart starts pounding faster. you probably have five seconds before the person comes around the corner.
Five...
four...
Three...
Two...
One.
The person comes around the corner and spots you.
"Hey! what are you doing?" the man yells at you.
you have to act fast, there is no time to lose. you have two options of what you can do.
[[kill him ]]
[[run ]]+2 aggression
all your instincts are screaming at you to turn on your heel and run away. instead of that you turn towards the man, bracing for him to hit you. you pull out your pocket knife, this is not the best weapon to be doing this with but you will have to make it work. the man sprints at you and pulls out a gun.
//fuck.//
this is not going to be a fair fight. you pull your knife up. your attacker is advancing. you don't want to give him any more advantage than he already has so you launch yourself at him.
judging by his facial expression, he did not expect you to jump at him. you collide with the man. He probably won't risk shooting you when you are so close.
you maneuver your knife over the man's thigh, and quickly jab the knife into his leg, the man releases you and screams.
//damn it.//
The man's scream probably allerted the other guards. you push yourself up and snatch up his gun. He heaves himself up and screams again. you hear thundering footsteps. the man gets up and limps towards you.
"get back. I will shoot." you say as you raise your gun towards their chest. they keep walking towards you.
I'm not joking!" you shout angrily. you don't want to kill the man but you will if you have to. he is certainly not making this easy. he walks towards you and you pull the trigger.
[[continue 15 ]]you take off running, you were right, this job //has//been too easy. you bolt down the halls and the man sprints after you. outrunning him is one option or you could try to lose him in the maze of halls.
[[try to outrun him ]]
[[try to lose him in the halls ]]The rest of the people come around the corner. you take a step forward over the mans dead body. your body is covered in his blood and it is making you look very threatning. you can feel the blood from a cut on your head running down into your eye. you raise the gun again and point it at the crowd of people. in your other hand you pull out your tazer. you pull the tigger on your gun continuosly, causing the men to drop and knock others over. soon there are no men left and you walk over to the pile of bodies. there is no way you can possibly get the documents peacefully now

[[go in the bedroom ]]you sprint as fast as you can. racing down halls not making note of where you are going. the castle is huge and there are many hallway. the kings quarters are in the center of the palace so you try to make your way there. the castle is built so that the kings rooms are in the middle. you continue running and spot a staircase, once you reach it you dash up the stairs and shove people out of the way as you go. you reach the top of the stairs and come face to face with set of huge doors. the only place this could lead to is the kings quarters. you walk over to the doors and push them open. you walk into the room and close the doors behind you. the room you walked into must be a living room going by the couches and tables set up around the room. this room is used by the king and his important guests. as you get further into the rooms, you probably will get closer to the kingd more private rooms. walking into the next room, you emerge into what looks like a meeting room. it has a long table and a bunch of little chairs and one big throne for the king himself. after gong through a few more rooms you reach two sets of doors. one that leads to an office and one that leads to the kings bedroom.

you probably should look somewhere else for the documents now, knowing that they are not here.
